Corner after corner for Chelsea here as they hunt for more.

Surprised it took him that long.
80'
Azpilicueta is next to go close, as he cannot convert at the back post.
78'
Incredibly, Caballero is still making saves, as he shows great reflexes to make the block.
76'
SAVE! Mount cannot believe he hasn't scored there as he is denied by a super stop from Collins.
74'
WHAT A MISS! What a miss from Barkley! It should be a sixth goal for Chelsea as Giroud gets in behind and squares for his team-mate, but somehow Barkley sends it wide with the goal at his mercy!

In totally normal news for 2020, Ryan Reynolds is trying to buy Wrexham.

What a performance from the 21-year-old. The goalkeeping left much to be desired, but Havertz won't care one bit as he rounds Collins to secure his first-ever senior treble!
